District of the Circuit Court of Cook County, which is one of the fastest growing

have a great need for juvenile court facilities in the area in order to curb
the spread of juvenile crime and delinquency in the Northwest Suburban area; and

loss of effort, time and money now needlessly consumed; and

of many problems facing juveniles would be reaffirmed and strengthened by such
regional action.
